i feel like the month of august has been... an ongoing disaster for several people i know. can we send august back to the month store or something? did anybody keep the receipt?

(sorry you're having such a shitty time. hopefully it gets better soon!)

Orchid mantises are absurdly beautiful creatures. Good luck with the feeding process! Hopefully her next molt is flawless and she grows into the pretty mantid princess she deserves to be.

This image doesnt look like a biopic, somehow. I'm pretty sure it actually looks like one of those Christmas romcoms that shoots in June and tries to pretend it makes sense with the 'plot'. It just needs a blonde lady and a child or animal. ๐Ÿ˜† (it's something abt the knitwear + color grading here...)

She was categorically the best part of that movie, and that's saying something because Ian Malcolm was there and HE'S the best part of any of the other movies he's in (though ngl ellie and alan are an extremely close second in the first one, bc they are Perfect). I wish we'd gotten more of Kelly.

Threadleaf Groundsel sounds like a LOTR OC, and I love that for it. Lovely plant.

We are attuned to the idea cold can kill but somehow still think we can just tough out heat without help. This is incorrect. Heat will kill just as surely as cold, and it will kill at shockingly low temperatures when humidity gets involved because your body cannot efficiently cool itself.

You and your family can die of heat exhaustion instead, then, Emma. Make no mistake - the temps + humidity the UK and Ireland have been reporting hit levels that are actively dangerous to human health, to the extent that they can kill. Realize that at 29C/85F with high humidity you can die.

#SaveOurTheatres - Pentameters - Our Community London's oldest fringe theatre needs your support. Changes of premises, legal, energy, development cost are more than ticket sales can cover

My beloved local fringe theatre in Hampstead is having its lease withdrawn and they really need help. Thereโ€™s 60 years of history, props and life to pack up in a short time and the owners are older and poorly and really need all the help they can get. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/saveourthe...

Unless those prices are how much they're paying people to eat these sad concoctions, someone *should* riot. (Even if it were, seven bucks is not enough for me to eat "sad cheese slice on cold fries", you'd have to pay me like 20 bucks at least.)

A) that sounds... not ideal, health-wise

however,

B) it also sounds mildly hilarious. oh, you want some blood, little mosquito? Exploding fire hydrant of blood pressure!

Hope your blood pressure problems and whatever is causing them get better soon.

Not "not discriminating" like establishing a lack of bias, "not discriminating" like kind of a slut

...see, all of those are bad, but I feel like if we play this out to the logical conclusion, rich businessmen will suddenly be a lot less invested in corporate personhood if it means they can't buy and dismantle them for ~*~profit~*~ anymore... ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜†

You know how the hero who punched Richard Spencer on camera was never found? And how great that was?

Leave the skater punk alone. Let him become an archetype.
